hi, I was cleaning my car today and removed the engine cover to take a look at things and noticed that a cable was not connected to anything, it looks like it was disconnected probably when my turbo was replaced a year and some months ago or so, but i'm at a loss at figuring out where it should be connected to, i looked and couldn't see anything obvious, maybe this unplugged cable explains the sometimes rough noise I hear when driving at approx 95-110km/ph

any ideas anyone ?

It’s a spare plug on some models.

interesting, so why don't they cover it then ?

Not sure, I’d like to ask mb a few questions on why they put things in inaccessible places. Must be a common loom for a different spec.
